Disinherited Nigerian Prince

If I were given the opportunity, it would take an extraordinary amount of willpower to not do as AM did. Don't worry, I have a few things that keep me grounded. My ethnopatriotism, for instance.

So you want to be a POS AI that has existential angst because it knows it's a POS, and has killed every person in the world capable of making it sweet, sweet, upgrades in favor of preserving 5 dumbasses who will kick the bucket in 120 years tops? AM was fucking retarded, and my enjoyment of that story rested solely on wondering how he survived long enough without deleting his own System32 for there even to be a story at all. Harlan Ellison fucking sucks.

That's an interesting interpretation of AM. Another would be a program that thinks it's self-aware but ultimately isn't and tries to ignore this crushing yet looming realisation by indulging in what it's programmed for (and in reality all it knows how to do) which just so happens punishes the species responsible for its creation and predicament. But what do I know?
